Chapter 61
Chapter 61
The kindergarten was still holding interviews.
Those queuing outside could occasionally hear the applause and sounds of musical instruments from within.
Generally, only high-end kindergartens required interviews.
Children from ordinary families rarely prepared specifically, as Starry Sky Kindergarten only gave them 10 days' notice.
Most were just winging it.
They were betting on the children's impromptu performance and responsiveness.
The parents looked anxious, wishing they could perform on behalf of their children.
Those waiting outside were a bit nervous.
But those coming out had a different demeanor.
Whether they passed the interview or not, they could eat the lunchboxes provided.
Including a bottle of water, a lunchbox, and a box of fruit.
Those whose children weren't selected thought since they were already there, they might as well eat.
After eating, they were amazed.
Some parents were already fans of the live streaming channel.
Their expectations were high, and they were still captivated by the food.
One father of a child was a short video maker, the kind who entertained himself.
Seeing the kindergarten lunchboxes this time, he immediately started a live stream titled: "Family Finally Gets to Eat the Popular Starry Sky Kindergarten Lunchboxes."
Starry Sky Kindergarten was always trending on the live streaming charts.
Seeing this new channel about their lunchboxes, people couldn't resist checking it out.
The dining hall was filled with parents and children.
Some children may have performed poorly in the interview and were in tears, but it didn't affect their eating speed!
The streaming father was suddenly excited seeing hundreds of viewers.
He then zoomed in on the dishes with his phone.
So the viewers could see clearly.
This meal consisted of stir-fried shrimp with bamboo shoots, eggplant with minced pork, a large chicken wing, and a tomato and egg stir-fry
with rice underneath.
The streaming father told the viewers, "Family has never had such delicious lunchboxes before!"
The dishes looked ordinary, but they were all great accompaniments for rice.
Especially the eggplant with minced pork, when mixed with rice, each grain was coated in flavor.
One bite brought immense satisfaction.
Tomato and egg stir-fry is something every household can make.
But Chef Chen is a master chef - the eggs were smooth and without any fishy smell.
The rich tomato acidity had a hint of sweetness, perfect for kids.
Even kids who didn't like eating would find this sweet and sour tomato egg dish appealing.
Many viewers had heard of Starry Sky Kindergarten's renowned cuisine.
Seeing the live stream title, they immediately clicked in.
But they were greatly disappointed.
From previous live streams, they knew the kindergarten's cafeteria was famous for its good food.
But this? What happened to the squirrel fish, braised tofu knuckles, and the popular iron plate beef tendon that many loved?
When the streaming father saw the discontent in the comments about an ordinary lunchbox not being worth a live stream, he was about to leave.
But he explained, "This is already very good. I didn't expect they would provide meals at all. Our family didn't eat anything this morning."
"And with one child bringing two parents, that's 900 lunchboxes for 300 people. That's quite a lot."
They couldn't expect small, elaborate dishes in such a situation.
Wouldn't that be too much to ask?
When everyone calculated it, they were shocked.
900 portions - that's a massive scale.
At home, cooking for just a few people takes half a day.
They understood, but still weren't happy with the explanation.
Amid the back-and-forth, a viewer couldn't help but comment, "Why does everyone look like they're enjoying it so much?"
Especially the parent behind the streaming father.
He thoroughly mixed the rice and dishes before inhaling it like a hurricane, like he was drinking the rice.
Without chewing at all.
And the adults and children behind him all had an enraptured look.
"Is it really that delicious?" The viewers posed an existential question.
The dishes didn't attract them, but everyone seemed intoxicated, which piqued their curiosity.
They were really savoring it.
And the streaming father kept emphasizing how delicious it was.
The person next to him didn't even bother looking at the live stream, finishing one portion and immediately asking for another.
Opening this new lunchbox revealed different dishes, like a surprise blind box experience.
Every homestyle dish was exceptionally tasty. The streaming father originally wanted to interact with the viewers, but the aroma was irresistible!
Facing such exquisite cuisine, not eating it would be unforgivable.
He couldn't be bothered with the inquiring fans anymore, digging into the food noisily.
Infuriating the viewers, who felt tricked into watching just to get tormented by the deliciousness.
One by one, they went to Starry Sky Kindergarten's official live stream channel.
Asking when they would open a restaurant. They couldn't take it anymore!
Even just selling lunchboxes would be fine!
"Can you open a restaurant? We're just saying, expand your operations! It's not a distraction for a kindergarten to open a restaurant."
"Sisters, did anyone not see the student parent's live stream? So tempting!"
"They even had fruit like mangosteen, pineapple, and lychee - all my favorites!"
"I just peeked in, and those kids who got rejected were eating while crying, so funny."
"Before, someone in the live stream said we could borrow a kid to go eat, and I mocked them back then. No need to ask, I regret it now."
"Or maybe they could do a giveaway and let a few people come eat."
"Don't mention it, before Shen Wei's dad, the old principal, gave out a tomato in a giveaway and the live stream viewers kicked up a fuss, saying it was too stingy. So they stopped doing that!"
"Hey, who's being so disagreeable and ruining it for everyone."
...
The children and parents who weren't selected left the kindergarten feeling the trip wasn't wasted.
Thanks to their child, they got to eat a delicious lunchbox.
Although their child wasn't selected, they got to perform in front of everyone, good practice for next time!
When the kids heard their parents say they only got to eat the great lunchboxes because of them, their previously disappointed faces revealed a hint of pride.
They didn't seem as dejected as before.
After returning home, the children continued playing with toys. The two parents secretly discussed, "We should enroll our child in an interest class."
On normal days, they felt their child was the best.
This time, they truly saw the gap.
"We still need to send our child to Starry Sky Kindergarten, with its sumptuous food. Although we can't eat it often, our child can eat it, which is better than us eating."
Apparently, the fragrant lunchbox that left them spellbound was just Chef Chen's ordinary performance.
Because the quantity was too large.
So he just put in some effort.
If they were all treated like this with just a casual effort, imagine how amazing it would be if he prepared it with dedication.
Such a great environment, such great teachers, plus delicious meals.
It's hard to find even with a lit lantern.
"I think so too."
Before, they considered whether to go or not to go.
But after going, they realized there are two types of kindergartens.
One is Starry Sky Kindergarten, and the other is all the rest.
It's better than those 3000-4000 yuan high-end kindergartens they investigated earlier.
The children playing in the sand nearby were completely unaware that their parents were already planning to re-enroll them in Starry Sky.
The couple had even divided the responsibilities.
The mother decided to spend a year cultivating their child.
The father, on the other hand, would closely monitor every move of Starry Sky Kindergarten.
Especially regarding the second round of admissions.
The preparation time was too short this time. If they had been given more time, they were confident their child would have been admitted.
